Hi, It seems the gatekeeper of surveys doesnt let much through perhaps due to bandwidth or just plain bad ideas. So..... Here is a survey question or 2 for both groups. Please check your entry below.
Would you participate in a distance based vhf contest and do you participate in arrl or sprint contests now? Answer 1: Yes to both What do you think of rating a stations qso points on the rarity of t

Thanks, The Max distance multiplier is 10. Therefore the biggest points you could get would be 60 if one of the stations are in the rarest of grids. 20 if they are is NYC and LA. I am considering thi

Yeah I need a volunteer to write a program. However, I think most of us can count the squares on the icom map, it could be done afterwards in the program. Hold it you are giving me an idea. perhaps a
For those of you interested bear with me its a long one, Interesting thought about Denver and pack rovers. For one pack roving is discouraged in this contest by limiting the amount of qsos in percent
I don't know infinity but if it is a hatchback run the wires under the car and up through the hatchback door. Its long use big wire for voltage drop and keep the wires away from heat. However it help
I was looking through the submitted logs on the Sept vhf contest see some guys from California grid circled in west Texas which seems like a long drive to drive in circles. AND who wants to drive in
Here is the webpage I found it under logs received under the contest link for the September contest. They are not organized in any fashion I was just checking out the rovers and noticed the West Texa
Hi My point was is for the most part they only worked each other. The 2nd guy feeding off the 1st. The 2nd guy had only 8 look ups on qrz.com. After a contest my lookups go up 20 or 30 in a weekend.
I'm sorry that some have a bad view of roving as a non technical activity. I believe the guys who entered in west Texas and worked each other only add fuel to those feelings. For the most part our ro
I am glad to see that one of the stations involved spoke up. This guy is not an idiot, so lets not let frustration lead to name calling. He or they are not per say bad operators and they are more tec
Someone asked about my Sept log and how for out I could talk Without posting the whole log here is a summary. 6 meters 1 qso @ 10+ grids away (e-skip) 4 qsos @ 3 grids away 10 qsos @ 2 grids away 41
The alternative is to not compare ourselves with the East on the basis of scores. The Arrl should not give awards on this nationally. I am unsure if they do. We need to encourage more participation w
The Arrl said it in qst that 98% of the qsos made were self qsoing in cross the line qsos within the team. Imagine using this type of activity as justification of keeping 70 cm to the FCC. Is the Arr
Just upgrade one thing at a time per year or contest, really the 1.2 is worth it if you get it. Collect some qsos too, there may someday be a rover vucc or something like that. It will make more sens
To say it is sanctioned, is a stretch when grid circling and controversial are not to far from each other in all the articles. It is perhaps defacto sanctioned much in the way one might mark up the v
You couldn't do points, but qsos and let them pick and choose the best. One option is zero points if in the same or adjacent grid but you would still put the multiplier in as to not punish them for b
